1t IL All in the Law,

few newspapers, the writer's for which
have probably never read the interstate
commerce act, and thousands of people,
notably In Iowa, where it is proposed to call
an extra session OF the legislature to con
slider the matter, are denouncing the rail-
ways for enforcing the law us they construe
1t. These parties say the companies are
endeavoring to make the law ollous by
making II oppressive.
The trouble is in tho law itself, The
penalty is five thousand dollars fine for
act, either by omission or commission, as
Will be seen by section ten. And while the
commission is authorized TO proceed against
violators, so is any person claiming TO be
damaged authorized by sections eight and
nine to bring suit in the district or circuit
courts OF the United States for damages,
including attorneys fees,
Section sixteen provides a penalty OF I've
hundred dollars per day forany corporation
failing or refusing TO obey any order or
process Of the commission or court and
section twenty makes all the remedies pro-
vided In this law cumulative, and In addi-
tlon to existing remedies.
Under this law 1t would be folly o, mad
ness Tor any corporation to Jay itself liable
to the penalties provided. The railway
manager must take the plain letter OF the
law and ABIDE by it, That is oil he can do
with any safety for himself or the company
he represents, II In doing this the internal
commerce OF the country ls deranged, Its
manufactures and mines forced to close,

ULYSSES !. Grant.

Sixty.fve years ago to-day, at little
hamlet in Ohio, child was born, whose
name, as a man, has passed into history as
second to none of the illustrious dead OF
ancient or modern times.
Coming from no distinguished race
without any special advantages-poor and
unknown, when the hour came the man
was ready.
1t would be folly to say that no other
man but he could have done what Grant
did, but II Is true that no other man has
dore what Grant did. And all that he did
was from and through himself.
Silent, self-contained, unobtrusive, Grant
went about his work relying upon himself.
Not seeking fame, but simply discharging
the duties of the hour and the day, he
achieved name as one OF the greatest Of
men.
The American people do not need to be
the story, and not they alone, for 1t has
circled the world, leaving luminous glow
in its pathway.
The story Of Grants life as soldier
and statesman will be told while time lasts
TO show what the man can do who pos
sesses brains, power, will, and honesty Of
purpose.
1t is history that 1t is fitting should be
told to the youth Of America, on every re-
currence Of the day when Grant first saw
the light.
The cool unimpassioned leader of armies.
The steady, straightforward, earnest ruler
of the nation. The patient martyr await.
ing in pain and sorrow the approach OF
death, and always the steadfast friend.
Let that be the picture of Grant. 1t IL
the true one.

Merchants Who Want the Long and
Short Haul Clause Enforced,

j. NJ. Burlingame, secretary Of the Bust
ness Mems Association, OF Minnesota, COM
prisipg boards of trade, business mems and
farmers organizations Of the state, writes
by instruction to the Interstate commerce
commission, asking that the association
be notified before any consideration is given
to the prayers of the railroads between
Chicago and st. Paul, Minneapolis, and 1t
be afforded a hearing on the subject. An
intense desire, he says, exists that there
OF the law until It's effects have been
thoroughly tested. .Chas. NJ. Hill, secre-
tary of the Philadelphia Wool Merchants
Association, writes, inclosing q copy of
resolution OF the association protesting
against the suspension Of the long and short
haul provision for the Pacific roads. In its
preamble the document recites that the
rates from San Francisco to the east have
been from so to 90 cents per hundred
pounds, while from many nearer points it
has been from So to $3.50.
The treasurer of the j. b. Williams Con.
pany, soap manufacturers of Glastonbury,
tion Of the n. Y, N. II. aud IL
Railroal Company, saying he is confident
he represents the sentiment Of majority
Of the manufacturers and shippers Of
Connecticut. protesting vigorously against
the suspension Of the long and short haul
clause. He says that for years this road
has had monopoly Of almost the entire
traffic of the state. The only two lines OF
steamers from which the road would re-
ceive competition are virtually under its
thumb and are obliged to submit to almost
any terms the road sees fit to dictate.
The roads complained Of by the Orange
county IN. W dairymen, and those com
planned of by Thatcher, the miller OF
Albany and Schenectady, have been called
upon to 'satisfy the complaint or answer
the same in writing within twenty days"

its farm products allowed TO rot on the
farm, that is the fault Of the law, not OF
the railroads.
The Iowa legislature may attempt, as is
suggested, to nullify the law, but the rail-
way companies will hardly pay much at
tentlon to that. 1t may not be out OF place
to remark that, II the people Of Iowa are
opposed to this law, they were badly mis-
represented in Congress, for ten OF their
eleven representatives and both their sena-
tors voted for its passage.
1t is the law Of the land; the railway
companies must obey 1t, or lay themselves
liable to very severe penalties. 1t is
sheer nonsense to talk about the companies
making the law odlous or any state forcing
companies not to comply with its proyis-
ions.

THE New York Tribune copies from the
Philadelphia Ncws an extraordinary story
of an attempted d assassination OF Mrs.
Cleveland on the night OF the Presidents
marriage to his fair bride. OF course 1t Is
another specimen of the usual Washing
ton correspondent evolving 'news" from
his inner consciousness and palming 1t of
as an actual occurrence. This particular
story lacks even the air of truth In its
minor detail, as it speaks Of the assassin
being incarcerated now in the "George.
town insane asylum" The only insane
asylum in the District is in the other ex
treme Of its territory. However, If misrep.
resentatlon was accepted as an indication
of insanity there would have to be erected
another asylum in the District for the
special accommodation of certain alleged
'newsn gatherers stationed In Washington
for the benefit Of out of.town newspapers.

Efficiency of Screw Propellers.

The Navy Department has received from
England report on the results of some expert
ments made with number of screw propel-
lers applied to the Destructor, war ship Just
built for the Spanish government, that affords
some valuable data for marine engineers.
Seven screw propellers were tried separately
on this vessel, beginning with one z feet 8
inches In diameter, 9I feet inches pitch, and
IA feet in area, which Is about the standard
size for vessel of the Destructor class. The
size of tho screw was gradually reduced to z
feet inches In diameter, and III feet area,
and the pitch increased to go feet, with the
result that the speed of the vessel was in.
creased from q knots TO 22.6S knots, while the
engines were able 10 increase their indicated
horsepower from 3,d00 to $500.
